The Intelligent General Reader can only be fooled part of the time by publishers' blurbs. and if a reasonable standard can- not be maintained, the G.I.R. turns to other forms of literature. For several years, the numbers of popular science books, books of travel, astronomy. astrology, wat- ered down and made-eay philo- sophical books, have poured from the presses until one is in a dith- er what to read, and having read it whether to accept it as author- itative. Particularly this is true of books of travel. There are many travelers whom Robertson Davies describes as "geography snifters" who visit a country like our Far North for a month or two and forthwith produce a book with plenty of photographs to prove that they have been _t_h_ere. We have two recent additions to our shelves which if their cir- culation quotient is a criterion, must have merit. Having read several such books of late and liked them immensely. I was somewhat abashed later to hear them damned by critics whose op- inions must be respected, as mis- leading, elementary, inaccurate, superflcial and even dangerous, etc., etc. ‘I therefore decided that my judgment was not to be trusted so I asked Eric Neil. a geographer, to review “Caves of Adventure" by Haroun Tozieff, and biologist John Neil to review “Lady with a Spear" by Eugenie Clark. " This is the geographer's review of “Caves of Adventure" by Har- oun Toziefi: Almost everyone has a sense of adventure, the urge to be where no man has ever been be- fore. This spirit drives men to climb Mt. Everest and to descend into the deepest caves. It was this spirit that urged the author and his friends to pursue their perilous quest. The story concerns a number of daredevil young men who des- cend into the cave of Pierre Saint-Martin, the incredible depth of over two thousand feet. Here, in the damp and foreboding cav- erns they explored another world, underground rivers, vaulted cav- erns, treacherous drops and threatening rock slides. They found adventure, and tragedy too. During the explor- ation‘s the leader of the group, Marcel Loubens, met a tragic death and it is around this incl- degt that the story is wgven. The‘story as a factual account is not well written, but it is an absorbing tale just the same. The feeling of over-bearing danger and mystery follows you through- out the book and you put it down with a sense of relief and satis- faction. If you enjoy stories of “high adventure" then you will not be disappointed in the “Caves of Ad- venture.” “Lady with a Spear" is the story of the delightful mixture of travel and ichthyology which Eugenie Clark has encountered in her young life. An intense love of all living animals. and fish in particular, started Dr. Clark in this unusual occupation for a woman. “Lady with a Spear" by Eugenâ€" ie Clark takes you from the drip- ping caverns of Pierre Faint- Martin to the blazing sun of tro- pical seas. This is the biologist .5 review of the book: When Miss Clark prepared her doctorate thesis she was working in the Department of Animal Be- haviour of the American Museum of Natural History. and wrote her thesis on the hitherto unknown sexual be haviour of several trop- ical aquarium fishes. It is just like a detective story to follow the problems she encounters and how she solves them, using such things as complicated electrical counters. high speed photography and artificial insemination. The outstanding feature of the book, however. is the knowledge that as she recounts her story she does so as a trained scientific observer and the facts Dr. Clark presents 31‘ enot composed of coloured half-truths so com- mon in present day literature The author of "Caves of Ad- venture" tells you of an unknown world and few readers will care to emulate his adventures. but “Lady with a Spear", becatxse she works in the light of the sun stakes : responsive dam. The story, however. will not bore those who are not interested in reading a book on fish. As she travels to the West Indies, the South Seas and the Red Sea, Dr. Clark tells of the fishermen, the local chiefs. and of the beau- ties of the land and sea with a youthful vigour which far over- shadows 2 little roughness in the writing technique of an inexper- ienced author. I! you read and enjoy “Lady with a spear-’, try “King Solo- mon's Ring". It is a book deal- ing more with animal behaviour. well written and told with the same basis of truth.
